Chapter 389: Chapter 175 Absolutely Not (Please Subscribe)_2

Almost simultaneously, a Fourth Tier Star Condensing Third Layer guard on patrol in the distance let out a furious roar. With a burst of Thunder Wings from his back, he charged toward Xu Jin.

While charging, he simultaneously bellowed orders, "Deceitful words seduce the public, Purple Wing Guards, seize the corpse for me, anyone who dares obstruct, kill..."

The voice of this Fourth Tier Star Condensing Third Layer guard was suddenly cut off.

It was because Xu Jin had charged forward to meet him, using the Thunder Burst Step to explode directly into the man’s embrace, then delivering a Breaking Evil strike to the Divine Soul!

On the spot, this Fourth Tier Third Layer expert clutched his head and let out a miserable scream as his Starlight dissipated and he fell from the sky.

In the moment of his fall, Xu Jin caught up and set off a Flame Burst.

Headshot!

Execution!

In the next instant, Xu Jin’s movements didn’t pause as he rushed toward the Purple Wing Guards who were following orders to seize the corpse.

Flame Burst, Starfire Ring, Thunder Arrow— a rapid succession of attacks were unleashed.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty Purple Wing Guards who had emerged were thoroughly slaughtered by Xu Jin.

Just as the Purple Wing nobles were scared into scattering in all directions, thinking Xu Jin would also kill them, a Thunder Burst echoed and Xu Jin suddenly escaped far away.

The Purple Wing nobles who were trying to flee instantly gathered back around to gawk at the corpse Xu Jin had left behind.

The next moment, a Purple Wing noble fell to his knees on the ground and began to wail.

"My king, oh my king!"

...

Several breaths later, outside the palace gate, there were cries all around.

More and more Purple Wing nobles arrived at the palace entrance, starting to gather around their king’s corpse and then wept bitterly.

Subsequently, figure after figure began to rush out from inside the Purple Wing Royal City, wanting to get out to spread the news.

Initially, each of the Purple Wing Messengers dispatched by the noble families was escorted by elite guards, intending to help them break out of the Royal City.

But when they surged onto the streets, they found that no one was stopping them.

The Purple Wing Guards responsible for defending the Royal City had already become utterly chaotic, and in some areas, there were no guards at all.

They easily left the city.

Afterward, several dozen messengers representing the various noble families took flight in all directions.

On the city walls, Xu Jin watched the messengers flying away with a cold expression.

Success!

His plan had completely succeeded.

As for why this happened, naturally, Xu Jin played a role.

In just this quarter-hour of time, Xu Jin had gone on a rampage within the Purple Wing Royal City.

First, he executed another Fourth Tier Star Condensing Third Layer officer, then he continuously patrolled the entire city, targeting and killing Purple Wing Guard officers.

He patrolled openly and candidly.

After all, at this moment, there were no Star Condensing Realm experts left inside the Purple Wing Royal City, the strongest were only at the Ninth Layer of the Refining Star Realm.

With a series of Thunder Burst Steps, Xu Jin could outpace them by hundreds of meters.

However, if Xu Jin spotted anyone directing other Purple Wing Guards, he’d rush up with a Flame Burst or Thunder Arrow to annihilate them.

At most, it took two Flame Bursts to kill them.

In this way, Xu Jin paralyzed the Purple Wing Guards’ command system in the shortest time possible.

Of course, Xu Jin also managed to get himself injured.

The siege by several dozen Mid to Late Period Refining Star experts was no joke.

Even with Xu Jin’s extremely agile movement technique, he still got hit several times.

He had to use the Golden Bell Shield at one point.

But Xu Jin knew it was time to leave.

Among those who took advantage of the chaos to leave were not only the messengers of the Purple Wing nobles reporting to the various city lords, but certainly also the confidants of Zi Chi.

This, Xu Jin could not discern, so he could only let them go.

Xu Jin estimated that in about half an hour, at most two hours, Zi Chi would return.

And eight times out of ten, he would come back leading a large force.

With Xu Jin’s current combat power, he could still slay an opponent in the Middle Period of the Fourth Tier Star Condensing Realm, but facing two would mean fighting desperately.

If he encountered an expert from the Late Period of the Fourth Tier Star Condensing Realm, it would be extremely dangerous, especially since the Star Artifact Chaotic Star Pendant hadn’t yet recovered.

Safety first!

Under such circumstances, there wasn’t much safe time left for Xu Jin.

He quickly looted the Royal Palace for fifteen minutes, scooping up a dozen Star Cores, especially the Fourth Tier Star Cores which could not be wasted.

The Royal Palace was a mess; without time to find the secret vault, Xu Jin only managed to scavenge over a hundred Third Tier Star Jades, adding a hundred or so strands of Starlight to the Candou Platform.

Then he swiftly left the city.

After distancing himself a hundred miles from the Purple Wing Royal City, he hid and began to recover his Star Power.

Two quarters of an hour later, Xu Jin was startled by an alert from his Mingji Star Pattern; from afar in the sky, more than a dozen Thunder Lights flashed toward the direction of the Purple Wing Royal City, with two auras being particularly strong.

It was the aura of the Late Star Condensing Period.

An hour later, another aura of a Fourth Tier Star Condensing Eighth Layer, accompanied by a dozen Fourth Tier Star Condensing Realm Purple Wing experts, surged toward the Purple Wing Royal City.

Soon after, Purple Wing Royal City was alight with Thunder, and a relentless battle ensued.

But this battle didn’t last too long.

Then another aura of a Fourth Tier Star Condensing Eighth Layer rushed toward the Purple Wing Royal City, and Xu Jin knew that the great drama of the Third Layer Purple Wind Star Domain had finally begun.

And he could just sit back and enjoy the show peacefully.

As for his fellow disciples, they must be absolutely safe by now!

Fourth-tier Star Condensing Realm experts had basically all gathered in Purple Wing Royal City to participate in the battle for the throne.

Even elites from the Star Refining Realm were still on their way.

Ji Hongli, Ying Ge, and the others, as long as they did not actively attack the Royal City, would not be in any danger.

At this moment, there was less than a day and a half until the selection battle ended.

Xu Jin was both cultivating and beginning to plan his next move.

In the branch building of the Cangming Star Hall in the main hall of Dachen.

Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen, these two Star Masters, had been anxious for a day and a night already.

They could not understand how two Star Hall disciples and a National Taoist Institute disciple, in a location overlap, could coexist peacefully for more than a day?

What exactly had happened?

Multiple positional push notifications from the Six Alloy Wheel indicated that they were still alive.

So, what exactly had happened?

The two Star Masters were truly worried sick about their last two prospects.

Suddenly, Du Tingyun glanced at the timekeeping device, and it was time for another positional push notification.

Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen both looked at National Master Cheng Yuxiao at the same time, their gaze intense and full of reminder.

With such a gaze, National Master Cheng Yuxiao naturally sensed it, and only after leisurely putting down the chess piece in his hand did he turn his attention to the Six Alloy Wheel.

So far, more than half of the selection battle had passed, and all the disciples from the Da Chen National Daoist School were alive.

This was an unprecedented record, and also the very reason for National Master Cheng Yuxiao’s unhurried demeanor.

Based on this record, even if they lose one or two disciples in the next day or two, the Da Chen National Daoist School would still be a great victory.

Compared with the loss of four direct genius disciples with the class-A plan, it was infinitely better.

Most importantly, it had also inflicted a huge loss on the two major Star Halls.

The loss of five genius disciples was not small.

The two major Star Halls would certainly feel the pain!

In the next instant, as National Master Cheng Yuxiao’s Starlight poured in, the Six Alloy Wheel lit up with a dazzling golden light again.

Bit by bit, the golden light emerged.

Seven!

All seven points of golden light were there, representing that all seven disciples of the Da Chen National Daoist School were alive.

But in the next instant, whether it was Cheng Yuxiao, Meng Yanhui or Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen, they were all stunned!

Not a single point of blood-red light!

Didn’t this mean that the disciples from both major Star Halls were completely wiped out?

How could that be?

Not only were the two Star Masters shocked.

Even National Master Cheng Yuxiao was startled.

As for the Left Libationer Meng Fanghui, he was so shocked that he stood dumbfounded on the spot, unable to help rubbing his eyes.

It wasn’t an illusion, was it?

Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen also rubbed their eyes!

Completely wiped out!

How could this be!

Such a defeat had never happened before!

After a long while, both Du Tingyun and Zhang Zhen, their faces ashen, had given up hope!

Cheng Yuxiao drove the Six Alloy Wheel several times in succession, confirming that all the Star Hall disciples had perished in battle!

The entire quiet room was extremely silent.

After a long time, National Master Cheng Yuxiao spoke slowly, "Two Masters, since the Star Hall disciples have all perished in battle, shall we end this selection battle here?

We can bring back the National Daoist School disciples and go rest!"

The slightly dazed Star Master Du Tingyun was about to agree when he saw Zhang Zhen’s mustache angrily flaring up, "No!"

"Less than five days is absolutely not acceptable!

These are the rules!"

Zhang Zhen’s eyes turned slightly red as he forcefully denied the National Master’s proposal.

The bewildered Du Tingyun also came to his senses.

"No, less than five days is absolutely not acceptable!"

There were also attacks from the Third Tier Purple Wind Star Domain Purple Winged Alien Race to consider.

In the next day and some, the disciples from the Da Chen National Daoist School would face an all-round assault from the Third Tier Purple Wind Star Domain’s Purple Winged Alien Race!

There was already the rejection by the Star Will.

Plus, in the scheme outside of the plan, Cangming Star Hall had arranged for Zhang Shuo to issue an order to Zi Hao, the king of the Purple Wing Clan, to annihilate all the disciples of the Da Chen National Daoist School.

Therefore, it could not end!

Seeing both of them so insistent, National Master Cheng Yuxiao was not forced.

"If you wish to continue, then let’s continue!"
